Anyone have an Elite ezFrame AT screen?

I came across a 166" (diag) Elite ezFrame 2.35:1 AT screen on Amazon for $424. It was the only one they had left so I ordered it without doing any research. But I can't find anything on Elite's site about that model. In fact, their current ezFrame series doesn't even include 2.35. Does anyone have any experience with any Elite AT screen?

I have been considering going CIH for a while but wasn't planning anything immediate, until I saw that screen. A few months back I upgraded to a Panasonic AE8000 so that I could use the memory function to switch between 16:9 and 2.35 but hadn't upgraded my screen yet. This one is 1.0 gain, same as my current screen, so brightness doesn't worry me, especially with the 8000 which I watch in eco mode. But if there are other reasons to avoid that screen please let me know, I can still cancel.

Screen arrived today, much more quickly than I expected with free shipping. It's definitely big. I have a 133" 16:9 screen and wanted to keep that size when watching 16:9 content, which is why I needed the 166".

So putting this thing together I've come across a potential problem. I believe the center support bar is too long. It's obviously designed to go in the middle of the screen but it seems that it should fit perfectly in the corner, and it would not fit in the corner. I have to use a hammer to get it to fit straight in the middle of the screen and when it does it bows severely. I even picked up the screen to put all of the weight on the top of the frame and the support still bowed. Am I missing something?
